More Jasper Townsite

"Jasper" the bear, the town's official mascot, created by an artist for Maclean's magazine in the 50's.
View from townsite. It was very cold but clear that day.
The main drag, CN station on the right.
The slightly skeezy looking Athabasca Hotel. Unlike Banff, Jasper has always been a working town. The hotel was likely built to accommodate the railway, but I'd say the bar quickly turned a bit rough.
